I am just saying a Presidency can be a very dirty and risky business and women traditionally leave those decisions up to men.

For that specific thing (car repair shop) the answer would be no, but then since I have worked in the car business that's to be expected. However, she did just fine for years by herself dealing with car repair on her own. So, she is more than qualified to make decisions on that kind of thing. Sure, she'd ask me for my opinion, but that's because I have unique experience in that area.

However, she has much more experience with computers, so if I was getting one fixed, or buying one, I'd ask her for her input.

Any man who thinks he knows it all is an idiot. Part of leadership is surrounding yourself with people with unique talents and knowlege so that you can make a much better informed decision. That holds true no matter what sex the leader is....

I'd like to see a woman in the White House, but I just can't get excited about this one.

Why should her personal life determine whether or not you support her for President?

Re: Hillary Clinton should not be surprised so many women do not support her!

Anyone who think that women aren't or can't be tough has spent too much time away from his momma. I have never known a mother to be lenient on anything. It's easy to say that women aren't tough, but I doubt anyone on this board would say that to their own mother's face (or to Condoleezza Rice).

I don't support Hillary because I don't agree with her platform and her thoughts regarding how to govern. She holds the same values that many men do, including the ones she is running against for the democrat party nomination. Her gender is irrelevant. Her values and ideas mean everything in this campaign.

That's true. It's a complex thing when you're together for a long time.

I respected Bill and thought he did a good job, but I couldn't fathom that someone who was in charge of making all those decisions for the country could make such bad decisions with his personal life. It left him so open to criticism and scrutiny from his opponents.
